Following decades of ongoing mineral extraction, environmental plunder, and the subsidization of the fossil fuel industry, the second Trump administration’s aggressive pro-drilling agenda unapologetically seeks to seize as many foreign and domestic minerals and dirty energy sources as possible. Patrick Bond, political economist and Director of the Centre for Social Change in Johannesburg, discusses the mix of neoliberalism and paleo-conservatism undergirding Elon Musk’s corporate takeover of the US government. Bond also discusses the motivation behind US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s decision to skip the solidarity-equality-sustainability G20 in South Africa, and the implications of the US’ withdrawal from international climate agreements, slashing of emissions-reduction goals, and support for destructive carbon-intensive industries.

After the Fires – Satire from Juice Media
This arrow to the heart of climate deniers, was produced earlier this year by Australia’s Juice Media.
Holy Sh*t. I thought I was the only one who called CCS and running everything on hydrogen fuel cell technology BS. Funny videos that get to the point. 90% of the people on this planet don’t want to take a bus, train, walk, or cycle anywhere. We are still making Ford F350’s for people commuting to work.
